Pours a nice clear amber with a big fluffy head thats sticks well down the glass,quite a dose of citruisy hop in the nose along with a toasted grain not I pick up a touch of caramel as well.Quite a hoppy flavor up front citruisy and piney,get like a brown suger flavor coming thru big late an in the finish.Hey a well rounded lager with enough hops to make it somewhat interesting,much better than I thought it would be

Taste  The malts comes out bigger in the flavor, on par with the hops. The malt itself is lightly toasted and sweetened with a small amount of table sugar flavor. The hops are mostly floral. Some fruity hops came out in the taste as well.

Mouthfeel  Some nice, crisp carbonation and a bit of dryness from the hops makes this one a winner in the mouthfeel category.

Drinkability  This was very good and went down well. I will definitely buy again.

Comments  Its tough to pull off the even hop/malt flavoring and retain smoothness, but Flying Dog did a good job of it here.

A: A dull dark amber color with a very small off-white head that settles kind of quickly leaving just minimal lacings.

S: Malts, a note of bread, comparably big caramel aromas and a fair amount of leafy and spicy hops. Overall, the smell is mild and not very interesting.

T: Sweet malts with some caramel character. Perhaps a note of fudge. Very mild peppery hop flavors. The finish has a gentle bitterness to it with some citric and leafy hop notes and a note of minerals. The taste is by and large mild and thin, but clean and rather refreshing.

M: Moderate body, well suited carbonation.

D: An ok beer, nothing more nothing less. It could really use more flavors and complexity, as for now, it comes out a bit thin. But still it's quite refreshing.

A- A very clear amber color with decent head that falls to a nice rim around the glass. Pure amber look for the style very appealling look.

S- Sweet brown sugar with alcohol and malt are upfront with nice light floral hoppy scents mixed in as well.

T-M- Mild malts with nice floral hoppy notes dominate the beginning of this one. Then followed by excellent carmel flavors with spicey hints of earthy hops and alcohol. Mouthfeel is smooth like hoppy water with a thick feel in the back of the palate.

D- Put it this way if Amberbock or Yinglying tasted this good sales would be on the incline.

T&M: Taste is mostly dry and malty, which is a departure of what you might expect based on the initial aromas. Texture is relatively thin, just short of water, with very active fine carbonation. There is a light bittering but it doesn't really come through as hoppy. The finish is long and dry of malt.

D: The drinkability of this brew is about average. It seemed a little dry and a bit light in character, but overall wasn't too bad. I don't know that I would go seeking this one out but I wouldn't turn one down either.

Pours a standard amber color. (There's even some lace!) Smells of pears (WTF?), and sweet malt. Taste isn't bad, just average. It tastes of malt and just enough hops to keep things from getting cloying.

This might not be the best amber out there, but it went down smooth. While I wouldn't go out of my way to buy, I wouldn't turn one down if offered...

This was an OK beer. It was amber in color with a medium-sized white head. Not much aroma, just a little bit of caramel malt. The malt came through a little more in the taste, but was still understated. Little bit of hop finish. I had a couple of these, and wouldn't want any more.

Clear, red-ish/amber colour, decent head. Aroma has a touch of sulfur in it and a soft noble hop. Semi-malty, not overly sweet character with light caramel, some roasted, some fruity. Light astringency and leafy feel on the palate. Hops are not bitter but have an interesting almost citrus quality to them, followed by a dry, crisp snap. Finish is a bit dry too, some woody notes. Wait ... what's this buttery flavour doing in my lager?

Pours a clear amber color with a magnificent, foamy tan head. Smells of light cereal grains, and a faint grassiness. Taste is rather thin. Light cereal grains, followed by a slightly metallic hop bitterness. Not much else to speak of. Mouthfeel is light-medium with a semi-dry finish. I would reach for a brooklyn lager or SA boston lager over this any day of the week.

S- Light caramel sweetness with a hint of sulfur and a wine like tinge of fruity alcohol. Pleasant but unexpected.

T- Nothing wrong here, just some simple maltiness with enough hops to bring it all around.

M- First sip is light and refreshing. The body and carbonation are at just the right levels. A bit filling further along but not overly so, it feels in some ways like a very mild version of a barleywine with a light syrupy quality.

D- This is a solid beer, its nothing extraordinary but something you can happily drink without any fuss. If I had to compare it I would say it is similar levels of sweetness and hops to Sam Adams with the same overall drinkability.

Appearance: Slightly hazy light copper in colour with an off white lace that sticks to the glass.

Smell: Hops hit the nose as a touch of esters make their way through also.

Taste: Hoppy oil, almost a bit citrusy, on top then it fades and a rounded toasty malt flavour and an even leafy hop bitterness rides into the after taste. Alcohol is quite warming. Faint esters and a mild fruitiness are noticable.

Notes: A pretty good brew, very flavourful but seems to have some ale qualities and finishes like an ale also with stronger than normal alcohol qualities.
